Americans cherishing more time with their family during COVID-19 pandemic
4 年前
Seventy-five percent of Americans have been able to witness a key moment in their child's life that they otherwise may have missed while they've been in self-isolation, according to a new survey.
The survey asked 2,000 Americans about their time sheltering in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the perks of being surrounded by family.
From developmental milestones to simple heart to hearts, three-quarters of those polled have experienced a key moment with their children while in lockdown.
Respondents were asked to share these key moments they've experienced, and one respondent shared that their child got to meet an aunt they've never met before while another was able to successfully potty train their little one.
Another respondent shared how their child confided in them that they were being bullied at school, while another respondent shared they were able to watch their son be sworn in to the National Guard via a livestream.
Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Juice Plus+, the survey found that 66% of those surveyed said the pandemic has brought them closer to their family than ever before.
It's no surprise that 77% of respondents were also in agreement that they've enjoyed spending more time with the members of their household.
The survey also found that respondents have learned a lot about their families while sheltering in place as well.
Nearly half of respondents admitted they didn't really know what their significant other's job was before they began working from home during self-isolation.
Seventy-nine percent of those surveyed said they've also learned more about their children's hobbies and passions during this time.
Another 77% of respondents also said their children have become more open to learning new things around the house and trying new activities.
In fact, 31% of those surveyed said they've taught a family member a new skill while they've been in quarantine.
Seven in 10 respondents also shared their increased time indoors has also been a wake-up call for them to focus on their families' unhealthy habits.
Forty-one percent of those polled said they've added more priority to eating meals as a family during their time in isolation.
"During these unprecedented times, it has been a delight to see families becoming closer than ever before and enjoying the additional time they have gotten together while staying home," said Dr. Mitra Ray, Ph.D., research biochemist and health ambassador with Juice Plus+. "In turn, this has led to an increase in family meals, which are proven to form better eating habits and a healthier lifestyle for years to come,"
Another 29% of respondents shared they learned how to cook a new family recipe.
Seventy-one percent of respondents shared this has all been possible because it's been easier for them to adhere to a new and improved schedule for themselves and their families while they've been sheltering in place.
For those surveyed who've been working from home during this time, 41% said they've enjoyed having a more flexible schedule.
A further 38% of these respondents also shared another perk of working remotely is they've been able to enjoy more quality time with their family.
Regardless of whether respondents are working from home, 68% shared they've used lockdown to improve their families' communications skills.
"As more people become accustomed to working from home, they are finding silver linings in its flexible benefits, such as forming stronger relationships with their families," Sean Hopkins, chief revenue officer for Juice Plus+, observed. "We value and support the impact of year-round remote working models allowing more people to stay home - offering the opportunity to work according to their own schedules and give greater priority to their loves ones and their overall happiness and well-being."
